Note 286 — Chapter XXVIII · 1870. OCTOBER. SIEGE OF PARIS
Reading edition
The fact transpired that certain ambulances were established rather for the advantage of their fondateurs than the good of sick and wounded. Others acted altogether independently, but had neither personnel nor matériel to fit them for their professed purpose. With such as were allied to military hospitals it was sufficiently easy to deal and adjust; not so with the others alluded to.
